2022-2023 NHL Regular Season Thread - Your Reminder a Team is Playing in a 5,000 Seat Arena

[synistar]

And it's for 3 seasons. Going to be quite the awkward hope opener for the 'Yotes.

Season opens up Friday in Europe with an early 2pm ET puck drop with SJ @ NSH at Prague's O2 Arena for a home-and-home that finishes up on Saturday 2pm ET with SJ being the designated home team.

Then we're starved of hockey for Canadian Thanksgiving until the regular season starts proper with TB @ NY followed by VGK @ LAK both airing on ESPN.

TNT Wednesday Night Hockey returns with BOS @ WSH and CHI @ COL.

Winter Classic returns to Fenway with the Pens visiting the Bruins (ffs they just had the Tahoe game in 2021.) Canes play host to the Caps at NC State's Carter-Finley Stadium in February.

And random closing thoughts. Sharks went a bit too heavy with the Teal kits. Seattle with the questionable and polarizing mascot. lolVegas with their goalie and cap situation. The season ending is finally going to be the 2nd week of April after the two previous seasons finishing p much in May.

And the Coyotes are playing in a 5000 seat college arena

If AZ makes the playoffs in any of the next 3 seasons, I don't even know what all hockey fans will do.

Excuse you sir, the Coyotes are actually playing in a ~3800 seat arena. I can't wait for a postgame interview to be cut short because the varsity swim team needs the changing room or something.

They are p much kicked off the campus for a month long 14-game road trip starting Nov 5 through Dec 7th. In fact, 20 of their first 24 games are away.

All those problems, but at least they aren't the Leafs.

So Arber Xhekaj, a rookie, dummied Auston Watson in a tilt. I'm not sure if I'd put Auston Watson in heavyweight range, but he's up there.

This kids a fuckin beaut!
